How fast must a pion be moving, on average, to travel 9.0 m before it decays? The average lifetime, at rest, is 2.60 ✕ 10-8 s. (Answer in terms of c)
I'm not exactly sure what equations I have to use but I believe it relates to time dilation.
I originally didn't realize it was a time dilation problem and calculated that the speed would be .8666c but since it relates to time dilation I am not sure how to go about solving it.
Thank you for your help.
